AIDS Diva: The Legend of Connie Norman

West Hollywood City Council Chambers
625 N. San Vicente Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069
Join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary film “AIDS DIVA: The Legend of Connie Norman,” a fierce, witty, and compassionate AIDS/Trans activist in the 80’s and 90’s Los Angeles. The film uniquely and intimately explores the overall story of AIDS activism through the life of Connie Norman, and "ordinary kids achieving the extraordinary" by confronting a plague when others wouldn’t, and essentially defending their right to exist.
The event will also include an interactive intergenerational discussion exploring youth-led human rights activism in the past and today. Come learn about the activism of the past to help inform the activism of the future!
